Are you a problem solver? Do you like a challenge? Do you like making things happen? Have you got what it takes to be in Production Management?

Production Management is an exciting career path in television production which can take you from live studio shows to big sporting events, from finely crafted documentaries to children's animation, from blockbuster dramas to international formats. It's a pivotal role in any production which requires creative and dynamic thinking and the tenacity to achieve a brilliant end result, safely, on budget and with a smile on your face!

Production management: More than just an admin role

Raise the Roof Productions head of production Sandy Robertson defined the role: ‘The production management team ensures that a production gets made safely, on budget and on time.… Usually it’s office-based, as opposed to on location.

‘Every industry has admin roles but, within television and the creative sector, it’s just so much more fun. It’s enriching… so, although you are doing what is often kind of seen as quite a dull, uninspiring, logistical, admin role, it’s fun.’
